Everything is gonna be ok

cuz we have a task force !!!!!!!!

A task force ... for what ..

To pressure the Libs into finding another use for Rideau Regional ??

NOPE

To find a new buyer for the Hershey plant ??

NOPE

It's gotta be something REALLY good, right ??

WRONG AGAIN !!!

Nope ... this one is to pressure Hershey into keeping The Chocolate Shoppe open ... does nobody else think this is the dumbest plan since..well .. since we elected the NDP to run the province !!!

I ask again who is going to come to Smiths Falls to buy a chocolate bar from a company that "cuts and run" to Mexico ??

Incredibly ... Councillor Chris Cummings acknowledges that this is unlikely to attract many tourists ... I ask: why waste the energy ???

Cummings said he realizes people aren't likely to flock to the town to buy a Hershey chocolate bar.

Instead, he said council wants to work with the company to create an "attractor" that could include such things as a virtual tour and other unique features in addition to a place to buy chocolate.

That model, he said, has worked elsewhere - notably in Hershey, Pennsylvania.


HEHE .. a virtual tour of the production that used to take place here ... that's a good one... He is joking, right ???? I fear not.

Here is an idea for a task force or four that might just help the Town ... instead of us looking like a bunch of ass kissing fools ....

1. Pressure the govt to find an alternative use for RRC.

2. Find another buyer for the factory ( Did they not consider that having the shop open might just discourage others ... just a thought.)

3. Get a light rail link to Ottawa

4. Pressure the government to supply incentives for industrial development ... similar to what they did for Toyota in Woodstock ???

Yep, this proves it ... they just don't get it !
